BiG Pack 1290 HDP (XC) HS

Krone’s BiG Pack 1290 HDP (XC) HS produces bales up to 25% heavier then conventional large square balers. With a flywheel weighing almost 600kg, the Krone BiG Pack 1290 HDP (XC) HS is the result of a number of Krone innovations all cleverly packed into one machine.

Featuring a large diameter of 550mm, the double tines, (designed in sets of three across the full width of the cutting and feed rotor) pass the crop efficiently across the knives due to the V-shaped arrangement.

X-Cut cutting system features 2 knife drawers with 26 knives.The drawers can be lowered hydraulically and then easily pulled out of the machine, to the side, to install and remove the knives.

PRE-CHAMBER

The Variable Fill System (VFS) unique to Krone offers the highest throughput, 5-phase feed sequence for the bale chamber, offering rock solid and well formed bales, even in small windrows.

The packer and feeder tines convey the crop into the feed chamber where it’s collected and pre-compressed. When the feed chamber is completely filled, the feeder rake conveys the crop into the bale chamber.

In case of overload the fully sealed and lubricated cam type clutch will disengage. Reducing throttle speed will clear the blockage and the cam clutch re-engages without stoppages or shear pin replacing.

Features extremely long plungers which support the work of the needles. The plunger on BiG Pack 1290 HDP operates at 45 strokes/min ensuring a quiet and smooth operation.

All BiG Packs feature over dimensional flywheels for smoother running and less fuel usage. A soft start package is available as an option on 6 Stringer machines.

KNOTTERS

Krone has been using double knotters for many years. Extra wide needle rollers safely move the twine into the knotter. While the needle is traveling into the knotter it’s guided by a roller positioned under the bill hook for the most secure knotting performance.

Krone uses compressed air that is forced through pipes to ensure the entire knotter area is kept clean. This guarantees consistently high reliability even under extreme operating conditions.

Dust tight twine boxes easily swing out of the way for ease of maintenance. To ensure the best performance always use Krone Twine.
